Pappa2 deletion in mice affects male but not female fertility
BACKGROUND Recent studies have found associations between the gene encoding pregnancy associated plasma protein-A2 (PAPP-A2), a protease of insulin-like growth factor binding protein -5 (IGFBP-5), and measures of female reproductive performance in cattle. The purpose of the present study was to test the effects of Pappa2 deletion on reproduction in mice. FINDINGS We measured the fertility and...
متن کاملCross-Fostering of Male Mice Subtly Affects Female Olfactory Preferences
The maternal environment has been shown to influence female olfactory preferences through early chemosensory experience. However, little is known about the influence of the maternal environment on chemosignals. In this study, we used two inbred mouse strains, C57BL/6 (C57) and BALB/c (BALB), and explored whether adoption could alter male chemosignals and thus influence female olfactory preferen...
متن کاملSubfertility and defective folliculogenesis in female mice lacking androgen receptor.
The roles of the androgen receptor (AR) in female fertility and ovarian function remain largely unknown. Here we report on the generation of female mice lacking AR (AR(-/-)) and the resulting influences on the reproductive system. Female AR(-/-) mice appear normal but show longer estrous cycles and reduced fertility. The ovaries from sexually mature AR(-/-) females exhibited a marked reduction ...
متن کاملO-24: Increased Homocysteinein PCOS Affects Oocyte and Embryo Quality
Background: The biochemical characteristics of the follicular fluid (FF) play essential role in oocyte quality, the subsequent fertilization potential and embryo development. The oocyte quality and metabolism largely depends on follicular microenvironment. Present study aimed to investigate the relationship between oocyte quality and FF homocysteine (Hcy) level in women undergoing to IVF treatm...
متن کاملP-125: Assessment The Effect of Equisetum Arvense Alcoholic Extract on IVF Rate, Embryo Quality and Development in STZ-Induced Diabetic Female Mice
Background: Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic circumstance characterized by high blood glucose level and partial or absolute impairment of insulin secretion. Diabetes in females leads to sexual disorders such as loss of libido, low ovulation rate and disorder in oocyte maturation. Therefore the current study was designed to evaluate the protective effect of Equisetum arvense alcoholic ext...
